Shu Zhihan didn't seem to be afraid, she just looked at the Holy Master with a smile.
With this smile, those smart eyes also seemed to shine at this moment, as if everything in the world was eclipsed at this moment.
This smile also made the originally beautiful face look a little more elegant, and even the simple and elegant white clothes made it look full of nobility.
The officials in the court could see the love in the eyes of the Holy Emperor, and they did not dare to show any slights.
Now, so many sharks disappeared overnight, which made all the ministers in the court start to panic.
After all, the Holy One loves the sharks so much, but no one dares to bring trouble to the Holy One at this juncture.
"You all should step aside first."
Seeing that all the officials in the court were staring at Shu Zhihan, the Holy Master spoke unnaturally.
Everyone knows that the Holy One is obsessed with the shark, not to mention that this one is still so powerful.
When he heard His Majesty asking everyone to leave, Grand Master Shu began to panic. If His Majesty really forced Shu Zhihan to stay today, then there would be nothing he could do.
"Master Shu, you stay."
The Holy Master's eyes fell on Master Shu, and Master Shu's heart skipped a beat at this moment.
"My lord, I obey your order."
Although I don’t know why the Holy Father would leave the father and daughter together in this hall, but at least I am staying here.
Master Shu thought so and felt a little comforted in his heart.
"Master Shu, do you know your intention in asking your father and daughter to stay today?"
Shu Zhihan did not appear panicked by the Holy Master's sudden question. She was still waiting for Master Shu's words quietly.
"I don't know, old minister."
Master Shu replied respectfully.
The Holy Master didn't say anything, he just kept staring at Shu Zhihan.
Grand Master Shu lowered his head, but he knew very well in his heart that what the Holy Emperor wanted to leave behind was not him, but the daughter in front of him who was alluring to the country.
"Master Shu, how do you think I can verify this precious daughter of yours?"
The Holy Master did not move his eyes away from Shu Zhihan, but just stared at Master Shu and asked.
Shu Zhihan looked at His Majesty and said bluntly: "Everything depends on His Majesty's decision."
"Well, she is indeed the daughter of Grand Master Shu. I really like Miss Shu's arrogance!"
After listening to Shu Zhihan's words, the Holy Emperor couldn't help but said with appreciation.
His compliments made Master Shu feel even more nervous. At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder why Shu Zhihan said these words and what she was planning.
"Ms. Shu, can you answer my question first?"
The Holy Master's eyes fell on Shu Zhihan's face and asked with a smile.
Shu Zhihan looked at the Holy One and saw a gentle smile on His face, and at the same time, there was a little expectation.
She nodded gently, "Of course, I will know everything and say everything."
Seeing her being so obedient, the Holy Emperor couldn't help but be overjoyed and extremely happy.
"Then I ask you, tell me honestly, are you a shark?"
Hearing his question, Master Shu's heart jumped into his throat again, and he stared at Shu Zhihan with wide eyes.
In the current situation, it was not convenient to step forward and tell her something.
He kept praying in his heart, never admit it. He could only look at Shu Zhihan, waiting for her answer.
"Reporting to your Majesty, my daughter is indeed a shark."
Shu Zhihan bowed slightly to the Holy One and replied respectfully.
Her answer caused cold sweat to break out on Master Shu's back.
"Okay, okay, you are indeed generous.
Then can you tell me what the reason was for your father, Grand Master Shu, back then?
Will he take you back and raise you as a daughter? "
Shu Zhihan turned her head slightly and glanced at Grand Master Shu beside her, then leaned forward and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I think my father just kindly wanted to take an orphan back and adopt him.
As for my identity, he only learned about it when he came to the border town a few days ago.
The moment he learned about it, he was also extremely surprised.
It was after he was sure that he took me back to meet the emperor without stopping.
I hope the emperor will not doubt his father. "
Her answer shocked the two men in the court.
Master Shu really didn't expect that she would take this matter entirely on herself.
He turned his head and glanced at His Majesty.
How could someone as smart as him believe such a lame reason so easily?
But looking at the Holy Lord, the curve of the corner of his mouth has become wider. Just thinking about it, I know that the answer he wants is just the identity of the shark.
As for Master Shu, he would not really blame or punish him.
"If I want to keep you in this palace, what do you think?"
Shu Zhihan looked at the Holy One, and saw that the Holy One was looking at her with a smile, with such affectionate eyes that seemed to see through her.
"Miss Shu, just answer me truthfully."
I saw a gentle smile on the Holy Master's face, and at the same time, there was also a little expectation.
She looked at His Majesty, smiled and saluted, and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. However, I went to the border town a while ago, and it has been a long time since I spent time with my father and my sisters at home. I miss them all very much.
This time I can return to Mingjing City again, but I am looking forward to sharing the group members with my family.
The minister also hopes that the emperor can fulfill her wish. "
Her rejection could be heard, but the Holy Emperor could not feel even the slightest bit angry.
He waved his hand, "Forget it, you go back with Master Shu today and spend some time with your family first.
The matter of entering the palace will be discussed in a few days. "
Master Shu took her to salute and thank him.
Then he hurriedly excused himself and left the court.
While sitting on the carriage, Master Shu stared at her seriously.
"Tell me, what did you mean in the court today?
Is it possible that you are thinking about entering the palace? "
Shu Zhihan smiled faintly, just because she already knew that her father would definitely question her like this.
"Father, please be patient and allow your daughter to explain in detail.
What we need now is time, so think about it, if the Holy One forces me to stay in the palace today, then how can we leave?
The answer is also yes, that is no, right?
Once you really stay in the palace, then maybe nothing can be changed.
Now, if you make him happy just a little bit, he will relax his vigilance. Even if we come back, we won't find someone to surround the Grand Master's Mansion who is just wondering, right? "
Master Shu looked at her thoughtfully. What he didn't expect was that she would use a delaying tactic. This daughter really completely subverted his imagination.
He nodded slowly, "However, I don't know if this can really change the outcome. After all, the Holy One just said that it seems that it is inevitable for you to enter the palace."
Shu Zhihan looked at his worry, reached out and grabbed his arm, and said softly: "Father, you don't have to worry, it's not the time yet."
No matter what, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up. 「
Master Shu looked at her again and asked, "Then why did you admit that you are a shark just now?" 「
"Father, this is a fact that cannot be changed. Instead of letting others use this matter as an excuse later, it is better for me to say it myself first. In this way, others will have no reason to threaten us."
Furthermore, paper cannot cover the fire, and the truth will eventually come out. 「
Master Shu really didn't expect that this daughter would live so clearly. She had already considered all these things.
When the carriage stopped at the door of the Grand Master's Mansion, Shu Zhihan got out of the carriage, said goodbye to her father anxiously, and then hurried back to her small yard.
When she returned to the yard, she saw Tan Yun already sitting there waiting.
"Miss Fifth, you are finally back. I was really afraid that you would never come back." "
The worry on Tan Yun's face suggested that he was really scared.
Seeing her like this, Shu Zhihan felt somewhat relieved.
She said hurriedly: "Why don't I come back? By the way, how are the things I asked you to do?"
Tan Yun immediately thought of going to Xiaomen and whispered in Shu Zhihan's ear.
"It was a woman, dressed in white, with a hat on her head and a gauze covering her face. You couldn't tell what she looked like at all, but there was a small red dot in the corner of her eye."
As Tan Yun spoke, he did not forget to reach out and make gestures at the corners of his eyes.
Shu Zhihan couldn't help but feel that her description seemed to have a familiar feeling, but she couldn't explain it clearly.
She nodded, "Also, did you tell me how to change your appearance?"
"Yes, I asked. The person didn't say anything very specific. He just said that it's the same as before. If you want to become something, just find a reference material, mix it with this medicine, brew it, and then drink it."
Listening to these words, Shu Zhihan couldn't help but wonder, what on earth is this and how could it be so powerful.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the time when he was in the border town, Shu Qingcheng asked him for some clothes to wear, and also took some gold and silver jewelry from him.
I remember Miyue once said that Shu Qingcheng looks more and more like herself. If you didn't look closely, you would think they were the same person.
Thinking of this, Shu Zhihan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Shu Qingcheng was planning something big?
She turned around and grabbed Tan Yun, and asked nervously, "Let me ask you, do you think the fourth lady is somewhat similar to me?"
Hearing her question, Tan Yun couldn't help but nodded, "Well, it's true, especially after Miss Fourth moved into your room, several times I thought it was Miss Fifth who came back."
Tan Yun's words made Shu Zhihan's expression change, and an extremely terrifying thought appeared in her mind.
